Well hello to both of you. Nice!
jicaji, Your early Christmas with Violet, your daughter and sil sounds very nice! I'm happy for you.
Awesome that you got to see Violet's Pre-K and school. Excellent that it goes to 8th grade. That's really nice! I'm very sure you enjoyed visiting there.
Oh geez to Rizzo and time change too.
LB, I'm so happy you enjoyed work yesterday .. and partially today. I remember you explaining what your work does a long time ago. I must say what you explained and described today sounds very interesting. You also sound very proficient in what you do too! I say that's why you were given this assignment for this customer. Your employer knows LB will get the job done correctly.
jicaji and LB I'm in the same weather pattern as you. Rain then more rain and bitter cold low temps and winds this weekend. I wouldn't mind some snow either for Christmas.

Well I had a very disappointing day today. I was to have my first knee gel injection this afternoon. This morning the ortho office called me to say my insurance hasn't replied yet to authorizing my gel injection. It's Euflexxa and given in 3 injections at 2 week intervals and only twice a year.
So the office said they'll just give me a different gel injection and it is somewhat similar and requires only 1 injection. I declined. I was asked why. Because the Dr who gave me the cortisone shot highly recommended Euflexxa over others considering the bone on bone of my knee and knee cap has slid to the side. And my PCP also said he's heard excellent results for Euflexxa. The alternative injection is Gel One given 1X. The office cancelled my appt for today and I'm now scheduled for appt for day that my second injection would have been. In the meantime they are resubmitting approval request to my insurance company.
I worked for this health insurance company for many many years and retired from there. They are looking at the costs of the two gel injections. I've also researched the two gel injections. I'm not accepting the lower cost to save insurance company money. My monthly premium is hefty. I worked with upper management and the Board of Directors. My knee .. my choice .. and I'll do what I have to to get the one I prefer. I'm at least going to fight for it if need be.

Quote #3 first but I like all three of them today. You did good LB.
Well tomorrow is a new day. Take care and SED
